EQUITY 500 INDEX FUND

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The BT Institutional Equity 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") returned 20.52% for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997, tightly tracking both the 20.62% return 
of the S&P 500 Index* and the 20.27% return of the Lipper S&P 500 Average.** 
Since its inception on December 31, 1992, the Fund is up 126.69% 
cumulatively, as of June 30, 1997. This is a 19.97% average annualized total 
return.+ For the year ended June 30, 1997, the Fund returned 34.50%.

It is also well worth noting that the Fund is ranked 5th of the 59 S&P 500 
index funds in its category by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for the one 
year period ended June 30, 1997 and has earned a five-star rating out of 
1,997 domestic equity funds from Morningstar based on its 3-year performance 
as of June 30, 1997.++

MARKET ACTIVITY

The Dow Jones Industrial average broke the 7,000 barrier for the first time 
and the S&P 500 Index reached its highest levels as well during the first six 
months of 1997. However, the bull market for equities was also plagued by 
short-term volatility. For example, the large capitalization sector started 
the year with the strongest January performance it had seen since 1989. The 
S&P 500 was up 6.21% for the month, but then its pace slowed considerably in 
February and the market narrowed, with large cap stocks such as Philip 
Morris, Proctor & Gamble, J.P. Morgan, and Merck leading the way.  By March, 
the equity indices were back down to levels considered unprecedented peaks in 
November 1996, and returns were weak. In fact, the S&P 500 Index was down 
4.16% in March. Contributing to this sharp correction was the Federal Reserve 
Board's hike of the fed funds rate-the first increase in over two years-by 
0.25% to 5.50% late in the month. Still, economic expansion had continued 
through the first quarter, with favorable producer prices and retail sales 
figures. Employment numbers looked positive, reflecting strength in the labor 
force, and inflation pressures remained benign.

                       ---------------------------------------
                                      OBJECTIVE
                       Seeks to match the performance of the
                       stock market, as represented by the S&P
                       500 Index, before expenses.
                       ---------------------------------------

In the second quarter, economic growth slowed, and the inflation picture, 
while already good, brightened even further, as consumer prices are estimated 
to have advanced at a mere 1.5% annual rate between March and June. Despite 
the absence of pricing power, corporate profits continued to post impressive 
gains. With this favorable economic scenario as a backdrop, the Federal 
Reserve Board chose not to boost interest rates again when it met on May 
20th, surprising many industry analysts and investors who had anticipated 
that they would. The equity markets responded positively. The Dow Jones was 
back up above the 7,000 mark in April, and the S&P 500 rebounded to finish up 
with a rather impressive 17% return for the second quarter. In all, the S&P 
500 finished the six month period with a first half performance that was 
among the strongest in the past fifty years.

                            INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
                  Primarily equity securities, consisting of
                  common stock of current S&P 500 companies.
                  ------------------------------------------

During this semi-annual period, large capitalization stocks outperformed 
small cap stocks, though small cap stocks outperformed in May 1997 for the 
first time since December 1996, primarily due to a rebound in the technology 
sector. Within the large cap sector, growth outperformed value. The opposite 
was true within the small cap sector, where value stocks outperformed growth 
stocks. Overall, leading groups for the first half of 1997 included health 
care, consumer staples, and financials. The weakest performing sectors were 
communication services, utilities, and technology.

MANAGER OUTLOOK

As the second half of the year unfolds, the economy is expected to once again 
display strength. Employment remains robust, consumer incomes are expanding 
in excess of the well-contained inflation rate, and consumer confidence is 
running at peak levels. On balance, real GDP is estimated to rise in the 
2.5-3.0% range-enough, in our opinion, to generate a bit more inflation and 
allow corporate earnings to continue to expand at double-digit rates.

We believe that as the economy shows a bit more steam, no huge jump in 
consumer prices is likely. However, should inflation drift notably higher, 
this, in turn, may push interest rates upward and lead the Federal Reserve 
Board to officially hike rates again either at their August 19th or September 
30th meeting. While such a hike would, as usual, temporarily depress the 
equities markets, we expect favorable fundamentals to result in an ongoing 
positive trend for stocks over the longer term. Thus, we believe there is 
still great opportunity for capital appreciation through equities.

EQUITY 500 INDEX FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  ORGANIZATION

BT Institutional Funds (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company 
Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment 
company. The Trust was organized on March 26, 1990, as an unincorporated 
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The 
Equity 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") is one of the funds offered to investors 
by the Trust. The Fund commenced operations and began offering shares of 
beneficial interest on December 31, 1992. The Fund invests substantially all 
of its assets in the Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The 
Portfolio is an open-end management investment company registered under the 
Act. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of 
its investable assets in the Portfolio. The value of such investment in the 
Portfolio reflects the Fund's proportionate interest in the net assets of the 
Portfolio. At June 30, 1997, the Fund's investment was 60.07% of the 
Portfolio.

The financial statements of the Portfolio, including the Schedule of 
Portfolio Investments, is contained elsewhere in this report.

B.  INVESTMENT INCOME

The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investment in the 
Portfolio. All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains 
and losses from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro 
rata among the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

C.  DIVIDENDS

It is the Fund's policy to declare and distribute dividends quarterly to 
shareholders from net investment income. Dividends payable to shareholders 
are recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net 
realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, will be made 
annually.

D.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal 
Revenue Code and distribute its income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal 
income tax provision is required. The Fund may periodically make 
reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the 
timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions 
determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may 
differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

E.  OTHER

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of 
the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund, 
while expenses which are attributable to the Trust are allocated among the 
Funds in the Trust.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with 
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and 
Services Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer 
agency and shareholder services to the Fund in return for a fee computed 
daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Funds average 
daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, this fee aggregated 
$345,914.

Under the Distribution Agreement with the Trust, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of 
the Act, Edgewood Services, Inc. ("Edgewood") may seek reimbursement at an 
annual rate not exceeding 0.20 of 1% of each Fund's average daily net assets, 
for expenses incurred in connection with any activities primarily intended to 
result in the sale of each Fund's shares.  For the six months ended June 30, 
1997, there were no reimbursable expenses incurred under this agreement.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of 
the Fund, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.02 of 1% of the 
average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding expenses of the Portfolio, 
and 0.10 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, including 
expenses of the Portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, expenses 
have been reduced by $271,304.

Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also directors, officers and/or 
employees of Edgewood. None of the trustees so affiliated received 
compensation for services as trustees of the Fund. Similarly, none of the 
Fund's officers received compensation from the Funds.

NOTE 3--SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

At June 30, 1997, there were an unlimited number of shares of beneficial 
interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as

EQUITY 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.  ORGANIZATION

The Equity 500 Index Portfolio (the "Portfolio") is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), as amended, as an open-end 
management investment company. The Portfolio was organized on December 11, 
1991 as an unincorporated trust under the laws of New York, and commenced 
operations on December 31, 1992. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board 
of Trustees (the "Trustees") to issue beneficial interests in the Portfolio.

B.  SECURITY VALUATION

The Portfolio's investments are valued each business day by an independent 
pricing service approved by the Trustees. Securities traded on national 
exchanges or traded in the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the 
last sales prices reported at the close of business each day. 
Over-the-counter securities not included in the NASDAQ National Market System 
and listed securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean 
of the bid and asked prices. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities 
of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which, with accrued interest, 
approximates value. Securities for which quotations are not available are 
stated at fair value as determined by the Trustees.

C.  SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INTEREST INCOME

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend 
income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on 
the accrual basis and includes amortization of premium and discount on 
investments. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are 
recorded on the identified cost basis.

All of the net investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses 
from the security transactions of the Portfolio are allocated pro rata among 
the investors in the Portfolio at the time of such determination.

D.  FUTURES CONTRACTS

The Portfolio may enter into financial futures contracts which are contracts 
to buy a standard quantity of securities at a specified price on a future 
date. The Portfolio is required to deposit either in cash or securities an 
amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent 
payments are made or received by the Portfolio each day, dependent on the 
daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded 
for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the 
Portfolio. The Portfolio's investment in the financial futures contracts is 
designed to closely replicate the benchmark index used by the Portfolio.

Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by 
the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

E. OPTION CONTRACTS

The Portfolio may enter into option contracts. Upon the purchase of a put 
option or a call option by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an 
investment, the value of which is valued at mark-to-market daily to reflect 
the current market value. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will 
realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the option. When the Portfolio 
enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio will realize a gain or 
loss depending on whether the sale proceeds from the closing sale transaction 
are greater or less than the cost of the option. When the Portfolio exercises 
a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying 
security and the proceeds from such sale will be decreased by the premium 
originally paid. When the Portfolio exercises a call option, the cost of the 
security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise will be increased by the 
premium originally paid. The Portfolio's investment in the financial futures 
contracts are designed to closely replicate the benchmark idea used by the 
Portfolio.

F.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal 
Revenue Code. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

G.  OTHER

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements.

NOTE 2--FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Portfolio has entered into an Administration and Services Agreement with 
Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"). Under this Administration and 
Services Agreement, Bankers Trust provides administrative, custody, transfer 
agency and shareholder services to the Portfolio in return for a fee computed 
daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.05 of 1% of the Portfolio's 
average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, this fee 
aggregated $547,538.

The Portfolio has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Bankers Trust. 
Under this Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays Bankers Trust an advisory 
fee computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.10 of 1% of the 
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, 
this fee aggregated $1,095,075.

Bankers Trust has voluntarily undertaken to waive and reimburse expenses of 
the Portfolio, to the extent necessary, to limit all expenses to 0.08 of 1% 
of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the six months ended 
June 30, 1997, expenses of the Portfolio have been reduced by $783,746.

Certain trustees and officers of the Portfolio are also directors, officers 
and/or employees of Edgewood Services, Inc. None of the trustees so 
affiliated received compensation for services as trustees of the Portfolio. 
Similarly, none of the Portfolio's officers received compensation from the 
Portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Equity 500 Index Portfolio paid 
brokerage commissions of $169,740.

NOTE 3--PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other 
than short-term obligations, for the six months ended June 30, 1997, were 
$394,246,882 and $126,706,581, respectively. For federal income tax purposes, 
the tax basis of investments held at June 30, 1997 was $1,680,085,502. The 
aggregate gross unrealized appreciation was $828,647,371, and the aggregate 
gross unrealized depreciation for all investments was $17,383,366 as of June 
30, 1997.

NOTE 4--FUTURES CONTRACTS

A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at June 30, 1997 
is as follows:

                                                          MARKET     UNREALIZED

cover margin requirements on open futures contracts.
